=Environmental Science=
 * Project Outline**


 * Working with a partner, you will choose an environmental science topic that interests you to research.
 * You will be using a research process called the Big6 as a framework for your project.
 * You will be creating a **10 minute PowerPoint presentation** on your topic. Make sure that your topic is narrow enough that it can be adequately discussed in that time. For example, instead of global warming (which is a very broad topic), you might discuss how methane gas contributes to global warming.
 * To help define your topic (Big6 Step 1) you will work with your partner to develop several questions you would like to explore about your topic. You will record the questions using [|www.bubbl.us].
 * Sources (Big 6 Step 2): **You are required to use at least one print source (magazine or book), one subscription database source, and one internet source.** Bonus points will be given for use of primary sources.
 * You will create a list of keywords to search for and within sources (Big6 Step 3).
 * Big6 Step 4:You will read or listen to the sources you’ve found and take out the information you need to answer your questions about your topic (note taking).
 * You are required to cite your sources in MLA format, so keep track of where you find your information.
 * Using your questions as a guideline, you will create your PowerPoint (Big6 Step 5). Use your own words and remember to cite your sources.
 * You will use peer editing to revise your PowerPoint.
 * You will present your findings to the class.
 * You will evaluate your research process, product, and personal contribution (Big6 Step 6).
